N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Any suggestions for ?'Carry Bridge' - doesn't seem to match any other Tetley specimens May - July unless Carrickfergus

Unless - 'Carrybridge is a hamlet in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, 8km north-west of Lisnaskea and 11km south-east of Enniskillen. It is situated in the townland of Aghnacarra in the civil parish of Derrybrusk and the historic barony of Magherastephana. The hamlet is named from a bridge connecting the island of Inishmore in Upper Lough Erne with the mainland. The bridge is named from the townland of Carry on the island, which name translates as 'causeway' or 'rocky ford', perhaps referring to a feature replaced by the bridge' - Wikipedia - suitably wet-sounding
